- Description
- This article aims to present a comprehensive and structured review on recent studies in the field of agribusiness planning models, aiming to optimize agri-fresh food supply chain, with a focus on loss minimization in the fruits and vegetables supply chains. The studies are classified according to six research streams, namely modeling approaches, functional area (decision variables), objective functions, solution approaches, product type/country, and case study. From the literature, it is concluded that the importance of food loss minimization is increasing. However, in most of the reviewed papers, food loss minimization is considered as a secondary scope with the main scope of cost decrease or profit increase. This article shows directions and opportunities to researchers and practitioners trying to identify the existing state of the art, gaps in current research, and future studies on the topic.
